- Title
THE RISE OF THE HOUSE OF LEISURE: OUTDOOR GUIDES, PRACTICAL KNOWLEDGE, AND INDUSTRIALIZATION.
- Authors
Coleman, Annie Gilbert
- Abstract
Industrialization sent Americans outdoors to escape, recreate, and learn things with their bodies. This impulse explains the rise of professional guiding as a form of labor. In turn, guiding reveals an underlying economy of expertise that bound cities with nature, work with play, East with West, and industrialization with tourism and consumption.
